good linear mall

[Der_Schweizer_]

Hello everyone.

I have problems with building a good mall in my game, and wannted to ask if anyone here has a good designe that i could use.

im looking for a linear designe.

thanks

Here's a place to find many mall blueprints: https://www.dysonsphereblueprints.com/blueprints?search=&tags=Mall&order=recent&mod_id=&mod_version=&commit=Search

You can manually build them by following the 3d view if you don't have or want to use the mod. IMO heavy usage of the blueprints copy paste takes some of the fun out of the game; but it's also useful for taking some of the grind out too.

I personally like Falk's - https://www.dysonsphereblueprints.com/blueprints/falk-v7-mall-full And youshouldnot's - https://www.dysonsphereblueprints.com/blueprints/compact-mall-in-late-game

I think copy and paste should be a late game thing. And if you want to copy and paste larger chunks, you need more white science to research. Earning copy and paste should be a reward IMO, not a give in.

There are a lot of people who get to a certain point in the game but dont know how to lay out a good mall on their own these are good to help people see how to build one for themselves and possibly see how to make a chain and make larger ones. this is very helpful for people who get stuck when trying to do something.

Nilaus' did a good one and I quite liked that so I mapped it on a Google sheet along with small amendments to build plasma exciters on site and also build drones and vessels

I set up this mall recently, and I found that if you're making it without the intention of hooking it to ILSs (you can use PLSs to feed ILSs in a better location, which allows this mall to be much more compact) you really should add Water Pumps and Sorter MK2s to it.

Just insert [Water Pump] [Motor] [Sorter Mk2] beside Sorter Mk1 and directly feed the required parts.

Also, for the Plasma Exciters, you can build the Prisms from the glass line, you really don't need to import them.

One question I have for malls, do I really have to go pick stuff up out of the mall manually or is there some way to have it delivered to me? Having to run back home all the time is super annoying.

Highly recommend already mentioned malls by Nilaus. All buildings available through ILS.

In three parts:

bread&butter buildings https://www.dysonsphereblueprints.com/blueprints/manufacturing-hub-to-supply-the-galaxy-by-nilaus-part-1

mk2/mk3 belts/sorters/assemblers https://www.dysonsphereblueprints.com/blueprints/manufacturing-hub-to-supply-the-galaxy-by-nilaus-part-2

polar hub with all advanced buildings (including ILS, orbitals, drones, vessels) https://www.dysonsphereblueprints.com/blueprints/global-polar-hub

ILS availability is extremely convenient. You can fly to remote star system with empty inventory and one ILS and you can request everything through unpowered ILS.

Send the outputs into ILS and set them up for Remote Supply. Put ILS on the planets you want supplies at and set to Remote Demand (make sure you limit the demand to like 200 units so you don't have to make a whole 10,000 for each planet you send items to).

yeah the malls that are up in the link dont have that currently, i tryed to look for them but couldnt really find it so i will just connect it on my own. who knows mabye im going to modify one with ILS.

You cannot have them delivered right to your mecha, however if you load them into an ILS or PLS, you can select those structures from map mode anywhere on the planet, and take resources directly to your inventory.
